Five-Legged Deer Photos

Yesterday I told you about J.R. Absher, the Newshound’s, story about the guy in Illinois that bagged a five-legged deer. Out of sheer courtesy, J.R. sent me over a couple of photos if I wanted to put them up for readers to see. Thanks J.R.

The comment “hunting is bad” is only true if you think all food comes from grocery stores. i guess you must live in the city? Hunting was (and should be again) the primary way for humans to acquire meat for food. It’s the grocery store mentality that should go away. Farm runoff and chemicals are far worse than hunting for the environment.

For good balance, there needs to be a balanced approach to management of species. This bambi thing…deer are not bambi, they don’t talk, and when you hit them with your car, your car is totalled and you can be either terribly hurt or killed.

Please educate yourself as to the realities of unregulated populations of any animal, predator or prey. I am 100% for RESPONSIBLE hunting.

Actually it can go either way, it is bad to hunt but only if people have all the same prey or people take more than is needed to fed their trube/ family.

I think hunting is fine, but only if you need the meat. I don’t mind animals being killed (in a good way) because the whole human race really couldn’t survive without animals. It’s the way they are killed and why. People kill elephants just for their tusks, then leave them to rot. I say it should be like just after the Ice Age. If you kill, you kill because you need meat, and you use every part of the animal. It’s only fair you treat the prey with respect. I hate the fact that veil is allowed. I hate people who have fraugrar (sorry i don’t know how to spell it, but it’s geese’s liver)because the geese are kept in tiny cages where they can’t move. Pig mothers are squashed into a metal den, and her piglets are taken away from her very young. Chickens are kept so cooped up they peck each other’s beaks off. This is torture. Cruelty to animals. Evil, sick, heartless people do this, and I hate them all. Sorry for the long winded comment, but I need to spread awareness. I am not a vegetarian, or a vegan. But I stand for animal rights. Support Viva!

Hey Lucy,
Do you know what animal kills more people than any other? Deer… I have experienced a collision with a deer and aside from the damage to my vehicle, the damage to the poor deer was much worse. He was not killed instantly. Instead, he had a broken back and was still writhing in pain when the tow truck came to get me. At least a hunter would have put him out of his suffering. Hunters do us all a favor by thinning a out a natural population. You should thank them.

hunting is bad. you should not kill any animal unless-

- They are going to kill you
- You need the meat and their skin for leather
- there are to many around
- etc.

you get my point but still you should never EVER KILL or HURT any animal whether it is an ant or a lion

Lucy Anne you’re an idiot. The deer population is overgrowing right now, thats why many states have decided to add two more additional tags. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you open your mouth.

Lucy,

Here is a point to consider. I am a wildlife biologist in Florida. The reason a whitetail deer with five legs exists is because of overpopulation of an area. Whitetails evolved to exist in far fewer numbers than their current population in the US. The funny thing is that the presence of people actually help the deer population increase. Farms provide excess food in the fall and winter in regions that would normally only be able to cary a fraction of the deer population if the deer were only able to forage natural food. This increase food supply helps more deer survive the winter and thus pushes the population up year by year. The other thing is that people have “removed” the natural predators from most of the US. And this was probably a good thing since no one, not even you, would like your child or pets carried off and eaten by a hungry wolf, bear, etc. However, the removal of natural predators has also caused the overpopulation of deer. The thing about deer genetics is that in a “normal” whitetail population, only the strongest and most genetically superior bucks are allowed to breed because of the competetion of bucks for the right to breed. When the population is as great as it is in many parts of the US all bucks are alowed to breed. The health of a deer population is very dependent on this natural selection process. In a normal population you would never see a buck like the one pictured above able to breed with even a single doe, so his bad genes would not be passed on to any offspring. The simple explanation goes like this. A buck with large antlers is genetically superior because to get large anlters he has to be extremely healthy. Thats because only excess nutrients go to the development of antlers. All bucks have the same access in a given area to the same quality of food. Some bucks don’t need as much of these nutrients to build body mass, so the extra goes to the antlers. Usually the buck with the biggest antlers, or sometimes the heaviest body, earns the right to breed with all of the does in an area. Back to population, a buck can only mate with so many does in the short estrus cycle of the doe population. If he is not able to mate with all of the does then some less superior buck will. This allows weaker, and sometimes detrimental genetic traits to be passed on. There is also in increased chance of inbreeding which expresses detrimental genes more often since there is a good chance both the doe and the buck carry a recessive gene. I do believe you love deer, and are interested in their well being. If this true, the best thing you can do is to support hunting in the US. This is the only proven way wildlife biologists are able to limit the population in a region to healthy levels for the deer heard. Think about it and do a little more homework. Make a decision with your head as a highly evolved animal, and not with your bleeding heart.

By the way Lucy, You are kind of retarted in away!! Like all other people are practually telling you!! You must not be country for what i can see. I love hunting!! People hunt for food and to help bring down the population of the deer! I don’t consider anything you say to be approiate!!!

Come on guys she is not saying she wants hunting banned she just believes that killing an animal for no reason is unethical. If you cannot agree with that then you should not be hunting. But I think killing things like groundhogs is ok, its not really fun but neither is clearing out the rats under the chicken house.

Deer are not only killed to eat and for population but in some cases like my dad and friends after we get 2-3 deer we get them processed and eat them.. if we get more we donate the food to less privlaged families.. Deer hunting is a great past time… and the comment about ground hogs steve saylor ? What the hell ? and lucy you have been told enough but 1 more time.. YOUR DUMB

steve saylor

Well all I am saying is that sometimes you need to kill animals because they are vermin. For example rats need to be killed. Your not going to live trap them and put them somewhere else they are a pestilence and need killing. Groundhogs / woodchucks whatever anyone else calls them need to be killed off on a regular basis or your whole yard / garden will be destroyed not to mention breaking my horses leg. Anyhow, dad and I just finished up Elk /deer hunting the Bitterroots. No elk sorry to say but pop tagged a smallish Muley a few minutes before dark. Lucy is a little off, I am sure she is nice. But I think she is right about not hurting animals, if you need to kill an animal for a purpose like food, population control and products like fur and leather then fine but don’t wound the thing and take pleasure out of it, just kill it and be done. Our guide today was kind of shocked that pop and I gutted, skinned and quartered the deer. He said there are loads of clients that won’t even think about cleaning a deer. I found that very odd.

Lucy may not be dumb, very ignorant and mislead perhaps, with some maturity, perhaps she may be able to be able to look at hunting with a more open mind. She just needs to be educated. Maybe when she has a deer slam in to her vehicle one of these days and injures her child or loved one, maybe then she will understand the need for conservatian and population control. Animals have a valuable place in this world, but it’s not at the top of the food chain.

Another comment above about elephants taken for tusks and left to rot, this is not called hunting, it’s called POACHING, please try not to get these things confused!

Poor genetics or just freak of nature (alot could be said about the HUMAN breeding pools with some of the things we come up with in our offspring) either way, congratulations on your one of a kind buck and a great shot placement at that!

I’ve hunted since I was a little girl, and when women just didn’t hunt, and it for me has developed as a spiritual cleansing, I cannot say enough how much I enjoy my time out in the woods, and the commeradere I share with my family and fellow hunters.

I don’t understand people who say “deer are bad, look at the collisions”. Would they say “pedestrians are bad” because of that same problem ? or “bikers are bad” ? Isn’t the deer killed by almost any collision ? Thinking about problems from only one side is completely subjective and wrong.
To the people who talk about “vermin”, what about humans who prosper everywhere and destroy almost everything they touch ? Don’t get me wrong, I’m no extremist, but we have to consider every point of view to find an equilibrium with our environment. And, at last, humans don’t need meat to live.

TZ – All the points you bring up are the exact reasons why there are and probably will always be differences in how we look at wildlife – in this case deer.

1. When people insist that humans and animals are on an equal plane, rational wildlife management is difficult to attain. If you cannot tell that there is a difference between the results of hitting an animal versus hitting a human being, there is a problem.

2. You seem also to have some issues with humans who prosper, even though our Constitution was written so that we as free Americans could be free and prosper. You should also look into all the facts and not rely on the media for your information. If you did then you would be taking a page from your own advice book. The facts are that man is NOT destroying almost everything he touches. On the contrary. Man has done such a great job, this is one reason there are areas with too many deer.

3. While it sounds good when someone says we need to “find an equilibrium with our environment”, who gets to define what that equilibrium is? You? Me? Government? Al Gore?

4. Ah, you are right that humans don’t need meat to live. Humans don’t NEED a lot of things to live. As a matter of fact, it is shown time and again that humans can live for many years living on nothing more than rice and water but is that the lifestyle we are striving for? An extreme example I admit but it shows that argument as being without merit. I would assume that I could go down through your list of things you eat often in your diet and tell you which ones you don’t NEED to eat to live on. The one difference is I don’t feel the need nor do I think it is what being an American is about to force my ideals onto others. Is there something morally wrong with eating meat? Not for me!

People will never agree in how we as humans utilize our wildlife entrusted to us by God and that is fine. I have no problem with anyone who don’t believe in killing animals. I have no problem with people who don’t believe in eating meat, etc. When I do have a problem, it is when people want to try to force me to conform to their way of life. This is what is “completely subjective and wrong” as you put it.

Hey TZ I think rats and such are pretty much vermin but I guess not if you keep one as a pet. As far as eating meat goes saturated fats such as we get from animals are pretty essential to human fetal development in myelin sheath formation and essential fatty acids that we cannot produce, humans can live without carbohydrates but not protein and fat. We have evolved to eat meat and are designed to eat meat, certainly not to the extent that we do or I do hence so much CV disease but then that is more due to over eating crap in general. I like to archery hunt because it seems like part of the natural order, I like the meat and know where it comes from as opposed to the other meat, I don’t hunt predators or trophy hunt because it does not seem part of the natural order of things. Predators typically take the small and weak. I agree with your statement about the collision thing, people just need to drive slower or maybe shoot drunk drivers.

Hey that was not me and it was pretty rude. I like this discussion. SO despite little luck in MT save for a mule deer, I am now in Northern PA where white tail season is around the corner. Found a bunch of buck scrapes and rubs so it looks pretty good just out back. The super cool thing is I can just head out back of the house. Probably will not do rifle but wait for late season archery.

First of all, ya’ll need to chill. this was about this kid and his odd trophy, not about if hunting is good or not and whos stupid and all that shit. im a life time hunter, as well as a tournament bass fisherman, and i know more about the good and bads of hunting then most of the people on here (with the exception of bill, the wildlife biologist from fl), but im not here to argue any point. this young man shot a deer that most people will never see, and thats wut this blog was started for. all you other people who check out blog sites just to curse and fight with people u dont know r the stupid ones, no matter wut ur view on any topic is. this is y parents dont like their kids on the internet, because they can come on a symple, harmless blog site to look at a picture of a young mans trophy, and read all these bad words. grow up and get a life.

by the way, thanks Tom Remington for the efforts to bring us this picture, and im sorry for all the blogs above me, as well as the ones thatll curse me out to make them feel better about themselves.

Well, John, Thanks. You it never ceases to amaze me what things I can post that will spark and interest in some people. This is one of those.
You are right! The reason I posted the picture and story was because I personally, have never seen anything quite like this and thought others would enjoy it too.
While I may not like some of what gets commented on in posts such as this, I hate to censor the chatter. I have been fortunate to this point that I can leave the comments sections open for readers to voice their ideas, approval, disapprovals, questions, concerns, etc.
For each comment that gets made, I get a notice. For many in this post I just scan, laugh and move on. If they get too foul languaged I have to remove the bad cusses.
But hey, in the meantime, I hope you continue to enjoy the posts and I welcome any other exciting or unusual photos to share with others.

Hunting is OK i guess, Its better then putting them in factoys to die even before they are to had for meat. It depends on what your doing. If your killing just for fun and just caught off a foot or head or whatever then thats really bad and u should be ashambded. You should have left the deer alone it could make more 5 leged deer!

The deer was probably killed in an area that was thick and overgrown. I hunt these areas a lot because the deer are comfortable and plentiful in these areas. Anyways, the point I am making is that the legs were probably never seen until after the kill was made and then discovered when the guy walked up to tag his animal. I doubt it was killed just because it had 5 legs.

why in the world would you want to breed out a 5 legged deer? Its like sayin “no no dont kill the cow with 5 eyes….why would you want a mutation like that to continue…?

When do you think people had to start explaining the reasons they hunt? Was it When Ronald Mcdonald started selling burgers or was it Mr. Sanders and his fried Chicken? Or Was it when MEGA grocery stores took over the Mom and Pop General stores? When did harvesting your own meat become such a touchy subject? And why did it come to this? If Humans werent meant to harvest and eat meat the creator would have given humans a different design (Kinda like a horse) to sustain life dont cha think? Hunting isnt cruelty to animals and hunters arent Bambi killers. Modern Man has become so disconnected to what food really is. It doesnt naturally come in a plastic wrapper. Get a clue Bunny huggers.

man, i left this website for a while, come back, and people are still trying to start fights. and why do these anti hunting people keep coming on a hunting website? if your against hunting and your reading this, please know this. i dont care if u hate hunting. i dont care what u believe or dont believe. i dont care about u (probably cuz i dont know u). but, before u spend all ur free time bashing hunters and what they do, learn some facts. hunters do more for the future of animals then any other group of people. animal numbers need to be kept at a strdy level. yes, hunting in the past, and in sore countrys still is, harmful to the population of some animals. but modern day hunting in the USA is doing nothing but good…for animals, for people, for the planet, and anything i missed. from the conservation and harvesting of game, to the money raised through license sales, hunters do nothing but good to this country and the population of all out wildlife. idk how much money PEDA or any of them other places come up with yearly, but i am willing to bet all that i have that is doesnt not come close to the money raised by hunters to insure our future, not only as people and the future of animals, but the future of the sport we all as hunters love. gets ur facts right.

First of all this website is very amusing. I love seeing animal rights people try to argue with us hunters lol. They always lose lol. And to Emma’s comment, I have hunted before in Africa and have a friend going this summer for an elephant. Trust me, the animal does not sit there and rot after the tusks are cut out. The only people that do that are the poachers, and that is poaching, not hunting. Every bit of it is somehow used for the benefit of the local tribe. And lets just say that a bit of the elephant did get left behind….easy meal for your protected cheetah. Nothing goes to waste in Africa (coming from someone who has experienced the South African Bush) so trust me. Hunting will always be an American tradition so all the animal rights people should give it a rest already.

It depends entirely on the situation someone is in and where in the world they are…

rabbits, pheasants, and fox are pests and even though its illegal we go out and shoot them! Its pretty damn good and needed because otherwise they spread TB and rabies, piss off the hens and are just a pest, they destroy the crop and everything…

And to all those idiot people that dont know the difference between hunting and killing for fun… by a fricking dictionary.. hunting is something that has to be done…

Well, it’s quite hard to estimate some people(s IQ here. There’s nothing wrong with being for hunting if that’s the only way you can have food. On the other hand, there’s nothing wrong to be against people who kill just for fun.

Its a nice buck, I would mount this deer with those front legs still on the bust, what a great opportunity.

Just give me these anti-hunters for one month in the yukon, I will have them setting snares and building hand made bows an arrows. You don’t kill your dinner, you don’t eat, but you can watch me eat. Usually takes these folks about three days to become a hunter. ha ha.

When the grocery stores have empty shelves, these are the people you will catch breaking into your homes, because they know we prepared and we have the skill called harvesting meat.

“…undreadable…learnt”? Haha, and you ask me if I’ve ever “learnt” basic grammar skills? Let me help you: some words used in the past tense require the letters “ed” at the end of the word. For example, learn in the past tense becomes “learned”, not “learnt”. Sounds like someone needs to go back to English class. Who said anything about the way we treat dumbasses? All I said was we consider people like you dumbasses. I’m sure that whatever you do in life, theres another dumbass that can do it better.

At least our food has a fighting chance, your food has its feet stuck in the ground and all the poor plant can do is scream silently while you murder it, a little innocent plant that did nothing to you except create CO2 for you to breathe, plants are a living organism too silly, STOP THE DECIMATION OF THE PLANTS AAAAAAHAHHHHHHHH.

Tony Zajac my cell to call 781 2017

Ok. The deer had a fifth leg due to either a chemical or genetic mutation. If it were to keep breed, this disease might carry on. which in turn would be bad.
I sold the deer to ripely’s believe it or not
They gave me $500.00, a lifetime mebership, and some other stuff.
Its been about 2 years since this deer
I havent shot another one since
But second season i will hopefully bag the 10 pointer monster
